Most people have a general notion of what is considered to be a "classy" or "stylish" men’s watch. Features like gold or silver tone, a glossy dial, elegant hands, and a fashionable bracelet are usually good indicators of a fine timepiece. However, many watches like this can tend to be fragile and unsuitable for outdoor settings. Additionally, these watches often do not even have an "outdoors" look. Luckily, Invicta has solved this dilemma with its collection of beautifully crafted watches that are rugged, yet perfectly suited for today’s professional man as well. Founded in 1837 in Switzerland, Invicta has created some of the most stylish watches in the world, and continues to offer the pinnacle of quality to men and women across the world.

Invicta also offers its customers a multitude of watches that are not only trendy, colorful and rugged, but affordable too! A fantastic example is the colorful Lupah collection, including the Men’s Lupah Revolution Watch. The Lupah’s silver-tone stainless steel case is crafted in a daring round-rectangular design that is sure to turn heads. The stunning dial, which is charcoal with blue sunray, is protected by a Flame Fusion crystal that has been magnified and reinforced by a triple-layer of crystal coating. Three sub-dials are positioned around the piece’s unique center dial design. And as always, the Lupah is powered by Swiss ETA G10.211 Quartz Chronograph movement.

Looking like something on an Indy car driver’s wrist, the sleek Invicta S1 Racer Retrograde Watch comes in a jaw-dropping gold-tone and black finish, making it the envy of watch collectors. The case is a combination of black polyurethane rubber and 18K gold-plated 316L stainless steel, giving the piece an air of sport and style. Its blue sunray dial features two retrograde sub-dials as well as a retrograde scale from 3:00 to 9:00 which snaps back into place flawlessly.

If you are in the market for a watch with sturdiness and versatility that still maintains a classic edge, then Invicta Corduba Gold-tone Watch might be a perfect fit. The stainless steel case and mesh bracelet have been plated with luxurious 18K gold, accented by a scalloped, rotating bezel and a diver’s scale. The beautifully intricate dial is graced with a 24 hour GMT scale on its outside edge, and is completed by sub-dials that serve as a second counter, date and day display, and a power reserve. Water-resistant to 100 meters, this timepiece also has an alarm function. Detailed dial cutouts give this watch a textured look, partially revealing the reliable Swiss ISA 8173 Quartz GMT movement.

One of Invicta’s more popular lines is the Russian Diver Collection, originally created to honor the 1959 watch commissioned by the Russian Naval Fleet. This beautiful line of watches are uniquely oversized and crafted of surgical stainless steel or titanium, distinguished as being Invicta’s largest watches.

Perhaps the most unique-looking timepiece from this collection is the Russian Diver Akula Watch. Its gold-plated, 316L surgical stainless steel case is 15mm thick, making it an amazingly durable and damage-resistant piece. Available in your choice of blue or black, the Akula is water resistant to 100 meters, and comes equipped with a GMT around the dial’s outer rim. The Akula also houses a day retrograde, date window, power reserve, and alarm indicator. And, as always, the stylish Invicta timepiece comes with the backing of a 5-year limited warranty.

Another line of watches with a uniquely maritime feel is Invicta’s Subaqua Collection. Invicta’s Reserve Subaqua Venom Men’s Watch is truly an amazing sight to behold. The Venom’s signature 316L stainless steel case is adorned in gorgeous 18K gold-plating. A unidirectional rotating bezel has Arabic numerals at 10 second intervals, as well as scalloped edges where screw accents are located. The Venom’s bi-level dial comes in your choice of blue sunray or black matte, and has a very nautical aesthetic. A 1/10 second counter sits next to 2:00 while a second counter rests atop 6:00 and a minute counter is observed near 10:00. A durable polyurethane strap keeps this exciting watch firmly gripped to your wrist.

The Invicta Men's Specialty Skull Artist Series Watch is one of the most avant-garde timepieces ever produced. Designed by Invicta's Adam Dennis, these creative contraptions offer lines and imagery that have never been seen on a watch before. The silver-tone case has been highly polished and features an exhibition back, offering a wondrous view of the intricate Swiss ETA 6497 mechanical movement. Dennis' artistic skull design is revealed in gold-tone and black and sits atop the movement, making this watch an extremely rare item.

For nearly 175 years, Invicta has been the pinnacle of quality in men’s watches. And as we have seen, what makes Invicta a preeminent force is their willingness to create daring yet stylish timepieces that appeal to a broad spectrum of consumers.
